v2.7.0-beta

[fxamacker]

What's Changed

Latest changes (among many) include cbor.MarshalToBuffer() and UserBufferEnceMode interface to support user specified buffer (alternative to built-in buffer pool). This was going to be a release candidate but recent improvements (June 9, 2024) needs fuzzing, etc.

Special thanks to @benluddy for contributing features, optimizations, improvements, bug fixes, and discussions! 👍
